Estimating the term…
A producing method of an optical element such as quarter-wave plate wherein preparing a first member which has a coefficient of elasticity of 1-4 (GPa) at normal temperature, setting the temperature of a die having microscopic shape with high aspect ratio to be higher than the glass transition temperature of the first member and pressing the die against the first member to transfer a microscopic shape on the first member, a microstructure is formed on the first member. In the same manner, a second microstructure is formed on a second member. Afterwards, by connecting the first member and the second member, an optical element in which the first member and the second member are connected having microstructures with high aspect ratio face each other, is obtained.
A producing method of an optical element comprising the steps of;
An optical element comprising a first member having a first microstructure with an aspect ratio of not less than 1 at a period of not more than the wavelength of light passing through the optical element and a second member having a second microstructure with an aspect ratio of not less than 1 at a period of not more than the wavelength of light passing through the optical element, wherein the first member and the second member are connected so that the first microstructure and the second microstructure face each other.
